I paid $3500 for my '92 in spring of '05. I'm the 36th owner of this beauty. Engine is all stock, and run's like a champ! After I put TONS of money into the thing to buy pentance for the sins of the former owners which was mostly to rebuild the front end it STILL isn't on the road. Which is mostly my fault, but it is still aggravating.

Overall tho, I LOVE MY TRUCK!!

I gave $6650 for mine back in 2002. I have since put new paint on it and rebuilt the injector pump. I probably have put as much into it as I paid for it. But I wouldn't sell it for my money back. I love it. It has never let me down. Even when the injector pump went out it just started leaking but the ol' Cummins kept on ticking. 290,000 miles and going strong! I can pull a house off the foundation if I ever cared to hook it to one.

I think I did alright

This is my first post here. I picked up my '93 a bit more than a week ago. Paid $6,000 CDN for it ($5,400). It is a Club Cab 4x4 LE, with the heavy duty limited slip rear axle, fully loaded (pwr windows, locks, air,etc.). One owner truck - he ordered it specially with the options he wanted - i.e. no carpets, limited slip, etc. 330,000 kms on it -which I've been told isn't too bad. I've been looking for this truck - nothing else would do - for many months. This one came up, I jumped on it, and now it sits where it belongs - in my driveway. I'm a happy camper, yes I am.....

DOH! Sorry guys, I forgot the smilie on that one! So it REALLY isn't 35 previous owners, But from the Carfax I did I think I am about the 6th or 7th owner. And I think not only am I the only one of the lot to be able to spell maintenance, I think I'm the only one that can perform it as well!

And BTW, it's only got 239,000 on it. Puuuuurrs like a kitten!

Thought this old thread was too cool to be left in 2007. I paid 3500 bucks for my 1991.5 D250 single cab long bed LE in Jan of 2010. Bought it from a guy in San Luis AZ and he had been using it to build houses in Mexico. Place is like 1 mile from the border gates. It had 236k on it when I got it. Driven her wheels off and even brought my son home from the hospital in it. Im at 356k now and she is getting a 4wd swap. I will have her until I pass her down to my boy.

Paid $3000 for my first one in 1998, a 1989 RC 4x4 with 188k....last one I bought was in 2014, a 1990 RC 4x4 with just 35k that I paid $13500 for. I have owned about 10 of them in the last 18 years but they were much more plentiful in the beginning and a lot cheaper.

I bought mine from a guy in our church about 5 yrs ago ... 1992 W250 CTD stock club cab ... $1,500 and she's nothing to look at ... rust and rot in all the usual places... front end falling apart... all I've had to do is a new battery when I bought her (getting time for a new one), install VR when the ECM conked out (gonna replace ECM when I get a little ahead), and a lift pump (old one was froze in the open position and would not prime when I changed fuel filter) ... I'm learning to mechanic and I'm a sucker for ol' dodges ... got my eye on 86 4x4 ram charger 318 gasser for $500😃😃😃😃
